Is is ok for me to be here?

Hi!

Welcome Gill enjoy GN, it's so much more mature that Mumsnet!

Oooh thanks to you all! I too have a shock when friends become grandparents, mind you I know there were some who looked askance as we started on the baby years in our very late thirties when they had got through that stage. So glad to have found this forum with its support and humour.

Gill a warm welcome from me. Enjoy!

Hi Gill, I have a 12 year old son and a three year old Grandson and so have feet in many camps....but I feel most at home on Gransnet.

welcome gill...now you can get some tips on being a gran when your turn comes...

I have an 18 year old and a 29 year old and am about your age. I do have gcs but it still comes as a surprise to me! I now understand why my oldest friend was in such shock when she became a great-grandmother at the ripe old age of 58.... She was bad enough when she became a grandmother at 40. At which stage I was still thinking of myself (talk about self-delusion) as a young mum!

Welcome Gill, you will fit in just fine, we are all young at heart.

Hello GillT57 and welcome.

Welcome - like you I tottered between mums and gransnet for a while. Gransnet is great - any forum that can list as many yummy ways to cook swedes as this one does gets my vote.

Welcome Gill

Welcome Gill from me sending welcoming vibes from The North,don't worry about not having Grandchildren if my middle two don't stop messing about they will be "under offer" soon.

By the way, you've given me an earworm! you're question "can I stay?" has started the "Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer" song in my head!

My head can't cope with extra stuff!

I'm 55 and holding! Stand on the springboard of life, hold your nose, and....................JUMP! (you'll either sink or swim, metaphorically speaking!)

Hello and welcome Gill. It's the type of person, not the number of descendants, that matters here. Looking forward to seeing you around.
